FINAL WEEK: Houston Musicians — If You Want Exposure, We Need Your Info NOW
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been asking our Houston bands and musicians to send us their schedules, announcements, and updates so we can feature them in Music News and give them the visibility they deserve. Unfortunately, the response has been shockingly quiet — and we need to be honest here: this is the last week we can include you in the next issue.
For 44 years, Music News (aka Houston Music News) has been dedicated to supporting the Houston music scene. We have fought to give a voice to local musicians long before social media existed, long before streaming controlled our listening habits, and long before algorithms decided who gets heard.
Yet today, the biggest obstacle to promoting local music isn’t lack of talent — Houston is overflowing with world-class musicians — it’s lack of participation and communication. We can’t support you if you don’t send us information.
Here’s the truth that every working musician knows but rarely says out loud:
One Facebook post doesn’t reach the people who need to see it.
Your updates disappear into an endless feed of noise. We see great bands — with thousands of followers — struggling to fill venues. We watch clubs switching to draw-based pay because crowds aren’t showing up. And we hear fans saying, “I didn’t even know they were playing!”
Music News fixes that. Our readership actively seeks out live shows, new releases, and local music coverage. People come to us because they want to discover something new. We are the only publication in Houston — and one of the few in Texas — still committed to promoting local musicians and giving them free exposure to a real audience that cares.
But we cannot feature empty pages. We cannot promote silence.
If you want to be seen — you have to send us your schedules and updates, and you have to do it now.
What We Need This Week (Final Call):
• Show schedules (for December, January and beyond)
• New releases or studio announcements
• Band updates, new members, notable moments
• Photos when available
• Anything related to your musical career
